involving the sum of sl3,250,O 900. The num-
ber of cases filed under the Bowman Act is !, =
s19,involving about CSC, ,O0O, 900. The petitions
fled in the French spoliation cases number

ments were for the United States, in 102 for
the defendants The aggregate amount OF

States was Sl,65l, $50, and the amount ac-
tually collected on these judgments was
Sl52,55S
The Attorney General says he is now more
than ever convinced Of the absolute need Of
a government penitentiary. He says that
the cost of conducting a government peni-
tentiary VIII not be greater eventually than
the cost of subsisting the prisoners
in the various penitentiaries throughout the
country will be. He advocates the appoint
ment Of commission to inquire into the ad.
visibility Of building Government peniten-
tiaries and reformatory.
The Attorney General urges an appropria-
tion for the erection on the ground adjacent
to the Department Of Justice, Of a suitable
building for the accommo lation Of the Su-
preme Court and other courts and commits
sions of the United States.
A reorganization Of the Department Of

ness is also urged.

THE WAR DEPARTMENT.
A Years Work in the Secretary of
Wars Office.

The annual report Of the Secretary Of War
shows that the expenditure made by the De-
partment during the last fiscal year amounted
to $4l,SS6,165. The estimates for the
next fiscal year aggregate s5s,sSs, ,71o
against an apprpriation for the current
year Of S3l l,055, ,3O2. Ths increase is caused
by the incorporation OF an estimate of $22,
$50, Isl for public works, including river and
harbor improvements. The expenditures on
this account for the current year amount to
only 81, ,30S, 400. There is also an increase
of about Sl5p0,O00 in the estimate for the
military establishment, army and military
academy.
The report says that the buildings, fortii-
cations, public works and grounds in the Di.
vision of the Atlantic are everywhere in need
of repair or reconstruction. On the entire
Atlantic and Gulf Coast line Of 2,SI0 miles
and the Northern frontier of 1850
miles the sole armament is 142 rifed guns,
OF which 116 are obsolete and of very low
power Even the few serviceable rihed guns
that are mounted are but of little value.
Some of them are mounted OH old carriages
and all are without adequate protection.
1t is earnestly hoped, chat if guns. cannot
be had for fortiticat;oIs, appropriations can
be made for the purchase or manufacture OF
enough guns to employ the artillery and tit
them for ny emergency.
Touching Geronimo and his fellow captives,
now confined at Fort Pickens and Mount

Pacific Coast is Isl tute of Notifications, guns
and armament of every description, while San
Francisco is without single gun which can
be fired with safety with present charges Of
powder and modern pro ;ectiles.

FARMING INTERESTS.
The Annual Report of the Commits
sioner of Agriculture.

The Commissioner of Agriculture, in his
annual report, recommends substantially the
abolition of the seed division Of the depart
ment, and the transfer OF its duties to the
State and Territorial experiment stations
The directors of these institutions, he says,
ought to know what kind Of seed the
farmers of their respective neighborhoods
are interested in. and what kinds are best
adapted to each locality. III" ,"he says, "this
work of testing and distributing seed could
be done by the stations, and the department
be relieved Of this duty, it would enable it to
work in other directions of great Importance
to the agricultural interests Of the country"
The Commissioner discusses the scope and
functions Of the department. in way which
leaves room for the pain inference that he
disapproves the efforts to make it an execu-
tive department., with q member OF
the Cabinet at its head. The de-
partment's position, he thinks, should be
that of an adviser in those inVestiga-
tions and enterprises which bear
upon the agricultural interests of the coun-
try. "In the beginning" he says, 1.-THE de.
partment may have been an experiment, but
its condition now should leave no doubt as to
the precise relation which the department
should hold to the Government. The de-
ve!opment has been natural, and there may
be valuable lesson in the history OF its evo-
luton"
The Commissioner says it is yet too early to
make an official statement Of the results in
detail Of the present years experiments in the
development Of sorghum sugar manufacture;
"but," he adds, 'enough is known already to
enable this country to anticipate at an early
day the production of a sugar supply from
plant as easy Of cultivation as corn, but little
circumscribed by climatic influences, and one
whose by products have value equal to the
cost of raising"
On the subject Of our wheat surplus he
says: THE comparative prominence of this
country in its wheat surplus may not be
popularly realized. While our exports
have exceeded 136,0Oo,000 bushels per
annum for ten years, those OF Russia
were about 66U00,O0O bushels and
those of India 24,OOO, 900 bushels in round
numbers, for the last decade. Other lands
contribute only very small surpus-Aus-
tralia, Chilli, the Argentine Republic, and
others, only few millions each-and the
combined surplus of all nations does not
equal that Of this country"
The report treats Of the work Of the Bureau
Of Animal Industry in preventing the spread
of pleuro. pneumonia from infected counties,
and says that there has not been time in
years when this malady has been confined to
such restricted areas as at present. II the State
authorities continue their co operation and
Congress makes an appropriation equal to
that of the present year. the Commissioner
believes that this dangerous disease can be
exterminated by the end of the next fiscal
year.
